A recent Signpost article stated that plans for competitive tennis courts in the new Physical EducationFitness facility.were excluded in the last plan changes. But according to Dr. Gary Willdcn, chairman of the department of health, P.E., recreation and dance, the building was never designed to house competitive tennis courts. "This is an academic facility for classes," said Willden. "It was never designed to house competitive athletics." A memo recently circulated throughout the campus and community encouraged students, faculty and staff to contact Willden and campus authorities about the change. Although many people have called, "they understand where we stand now," said Willden. According to Willden, the plans for the building have been changed several times in the past 10 years.

According to Willden, all other colleges and universities in Utah who have indoor facilities received them through private funding or student funds.

Miller Editor-in-Chief A group of Brigham Young University students will be on campus today to promote interest in a demonstration against a while supremacist group that plans to organize in Ogdcn. The demonstration, set for Saturday, Nov. 7, at 10 a.m. in Ogdcn's Municipal Park, will protest Aryan Nations' announced plans to open a branch office in Ogdcn. Student leaders from four BYU groups, including the College Democrats, College Republicans, and the Student Review, an off-campus newspaper, will meet interested students today at 10:30 a.m. in the Union Building lounge area. The goal is to encourage WSC students and groups to become involved in the demonstration. Students from die University of Utah also have expressed interest in participating. "If people know what Aryan Nations stands for, they'll know why we are concerned," said Mike Otto, president of BYU's College Democrats. According to Otto, there is much interest in the Provo area because the group has also mentioned plans to organize in Provo. Aryan Nations is a white supremacist group based in northern Idaho. Although most of the leaders are currently under indictment for conspiracy against the government, the group recently announced plans to open headquarters in Ogdcn. According to Otto, the protestors will invite leaders of organized groups to present prepared speeches and then will turn the open mike over to demonstrators. The demonstration, which has been approved by the Ogden City Council, is peaceful in nature. "We know this is a sensitive thing," Otto said. "But it is our goal to get as many people as possible to know what is going on." Otto encouraged all students to meet with his group and get involved.
